Food, family and memories are as intertwined in the South as if woven on the same thread. At any function we attend, from a party to a wedding to a funeral, we are as likely to talk as much about the food that was there, as we are about why we are gathered. ~Mary Foreman

Y'all know I like my occasional weekend cocktails, and recently, I had the opportunity to try out a product called Bartule, a self-contained bar accessory that, with its compact, interlocking fit-together design, makes it super easy to bring the party just about anywhere.

Available in six gorgeous colors, the unit is made of 100% recyclable materials, is dishwasher safe, and made primarily from a nearly indestructible high density polycarbonate. The included bottle opener/corkscrew is made of solid stainless steel, and you also get an ice bucket, a jigger, a citrus juicer with pulp removing handle and spout, and, the ice bucket lid that seals it all together, also functions as a wine or champagne coaster and a salt rimmer.

Nice to own, but perfect for gift giving too, Bartule looks absolutely gorgeous sitting on a shelf or on your home bar and will be a sure conversation starter wherever you happen to take it. As perfect for a picnic as it is for any party, I love the idea of having everything in one place, but the fact that it all fits together so neat and has such an artsy look to it, is a bonus.

To enter for a chance to win a Bartule for yourself, simply leave a comment below. Giveaway closes on Friday, May 6th, 2011, at 12:00 p.m. noon, CST. Anonymous comments will only be accepted for the duration of this giveaway, but don't forget to leave at least your first name so I'll know who you are. Unless you receive an error message, your comment will post, but may be on another page - please comment only once.

Winner will be announced at the site and will be responsible for checking back and responding with mailing information within 48 hours of the announcement, or an alternate winner will be selected. Good luck!

You must be over the age of 18 and be a resident of the U.S. to enter. Sorry no international entries.

Craig, since you left an addy for me, I notified you on email, so be sure to respond back within 48 hours, to let me know the color you would like, and to give me your mailing address. Congratulations and I hope that you enjoy using this cool tool!!

Disclosure: I received a free Bartule plus one additional unit to give away.

Mary you know I love the Southern Authenticity of your tried and true recipes. This week my southern parents enjoyed the Beef and Onion Casserole and today Hot Chicken Salad is about ready to go into the oven. I cooked for these elderly folks for 3 years and I not much was said until I discovered Deep South Dishes. Recently I saw Bartule on Basil Magazine and took a shine to its beautiful sexy style. Sure enough Mary recognized it Too! Booyah!

I believe the 'tule' is the prettiest thing I have seen for mixing drinks. I would love to have it for our home. As an Army wife we are expected to entertain to some extent and this would make the perfect item to use while entertaining :)

A must for the consummate party household! Bartule would be perfect with my new patio, garden & patio set...next to the spa of course! We've spent many an hour trying to get our yard looking good in Mississippi!

I have been watching your blog for about a year now from Oregon. I am from Mobile and my husband is a rescue swimmer with the Coast Guard! Your blog reminds me so much of home! Thank you for sharing. I think a Bartule would be better than my "redneck" bar tools!Rachel Chambers

Well now that looks like the handiest little thing ever and the ice bucket would be perfect for holding those hail balls we're using as ice in our drinks after the storms. If you could find it in your heart to pick me as the winner I'd be much obliged. Win or lose here's wishin y'all a blessed day.

What a cool gadget! I love your blog and the recipes you share. I made a brownie recipe from your blog and they were PERFECT! The entire family LOVED them!!! Thanks for sharing your great recipes with the world! Amy Greenwood

Who ever came up with this idea, my hat's off to you....what a great idea!!! Everything you need is right there to make your favorite drink. Perfect for picnics, tailgaiting, wedding gift, housewarming, etc.!!! Love it! And, I want one!!!

You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients. ~Julia Child

The classic southern plate for supper is made up of meat and three, cornbread or rolls & a tall glass of sweet iced tea.

Oftentimes what makes a recipe southern, is as much a state of mind as it is a matter of geography - Southerners simply decide a particular food is southern, and that's that." ~Rick McDaniel, Food Historian
